Brosch AI–Distorted Dreams

Celine Pham (AT), Jolanda Abasolo (AT), Victoria Wolfersberger (AT), Juergen Hagler (AT)

Brosch AI–Distorted Dreams explores how Artificial Intelligence can reinterpret cultural heritage. The short film animates the works of Austrian artist Klemens Brosch (1894–1926), whose themes of war, decay, and introspection resonate across time. Using modern AI tools, the project transforms his drawings into moving images, revealing the poetic tension between human intention and machine interpretation.
